Cosmetology is steadily expanding its segment in the beauty market. Local anesthetics used in beauty salons without taking into account a variety of individual client health factors often lead to adverse reactions in the body.
For more information about legislative regulation, production features, as well as the benefits of using certified drugs for pain relief in cosmetology, read the article estet-portal.com.
The problem of using local anesthetics in cosmetology
The use of local anesthetics can be accompanied by allergic and toxic reactions, dizziness, nausea, tachycardia, etc. The cause of adverse reactions can be both the use of non-certified / unregistered drugs, and the use of drugs of poor quality.
The problem is further exacerbated by:
- Differences in the composition and concentration of active substances from those stated on the package.
- Concealment of the real composition ("cooling complex", "anestoderm", "anestoderm", etc.).
- Violations of the law, in particular, the use of a medicinal substance (lidocaine).
- Lack of quality control and quality certificates, which are mandatory.
- Lack of clinical studies on efficacy and safety.
Local anesthetics used to anesthetize the skin have a systemic effect on the human body, primarily on its nervous and cardiovascular systems. Unlike drugs, where doses, areas of application and time of exposure are clearly prescribed, cosmetic products contain very general recommendations on doses and methods of application.
Internet sites that sell such products describe them as safe. These resources indicate that the active substances do not enter the bloodstream, which is contrary to pharmacokinetics and misleading consumers. Of particular concern is the advertising of these products as a means for hair removal, when the consumer needs to apply an anesthetic to a large surface of the skin.
The choice of a local anesthetic should be decided taking into account three important factors: legality, efficacy and safety.
The factor in buying an unregistered / uncertified product is a low price, therefore, in a crisis and reducing incomes of the population, cosmetologists often prefer unregistered, so-called "cosmetic" products. anesthetics.
Choosing "cosmetic" anesthetic, the doctor puts not only himself at risk, but also the patient.
